Product design engineering for B2B and AI startups, embedded in your team, shipping straight into your codebase.
Trusted by YC founders and VCs building products for millions — where quality isn't optional.
“He takes complex projects from vision to execution — and the features he shipped felt easier to use and more integrated.”
- Your product ships real value but the design feels unfinished.
- Your engineers are guessing at UX.
- Agencies hand you Figma files nobody has time to build.
- Hiring a top designer takes six months and $200k+.
- Design keeps slipping and it's the first thing investors and customers judge.
That's the gap clarity studio fills.

Art Timeline
Art history laid out as a visual timeline.
You work directly with Micka
Over ten years as a founding designer in Y Combinator startups, several acquired by Superhuman, Alan, and Datadog. Design lead at Feedly, running a team of four on a product used by 25M+ people. 5 design awards and 4 design patents along the way.
He started clarity studio to do the work himself: designing and shipping straight into your codebase, not handing off specs for someone else to build.
“A rare balance between strong creativity and a highly structured approach to design.”
Two ways to work together
Project based
Fixed scope, shipped in weeks not months.
- Designed and shipped into your codebase, not handed off in Figma
- Fixed scope, timeline, and price
- Daily progress on weekdays
- Design infrastructure that keeps design consistent as you scale
Embedded
A senior design partner inside your team, for as long as you need one.
- Ongoing product design need
- Ships straight into your codebase, priority turnaround
- Design infrastructure that keeps design consistent as you scale
- Pause and resume anytime, no minimum term
“I was always impressed by how fast Micka delivered super high-quality work — consistently.”
We take on 3 partners a quarter so each gets senior attention. 2 spots open for Q3.
